Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy

Warrior 2 is finally getting his tonsils and 1/2 if not most of his adenoids removed. Why is he getting them removed? They are huge! They touch each other. It makes Warrior 2 snore. He speaks through his nose. He always had enlarged tonsils since he was little but the ENT we saw when he was younger... said not to worry. Yes, we saw this ENT twice (he was an older man--ready to retire) 1st when Warrior 2 was 3 and then a couple years later when he was 5. Still, this ENT didn't see the need to have them removed.

So, 7 years later...during one of the Gooey Goos routine check up, I asked Dr. Douglas Sutherland to have another look at Warrior 2's tonsils. He agreed that they are HUmangous! He referred us to another ENT and long story short.. Warrior 2 is going through tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Today is the day. His ENT is Dr. Lenhanh Pham Tran. We went to Kapiolani Hospital. I had with me Warrior 4 and Little K. They were so good. For lunch we went to the cafe. Warrior 4 was so hungry he was going a little nuts. Anyway, not much to do at the hospital but walk around.

Here are some pictures before the operation.

All smiles!

He doesn't like taking pictures. arrrrrrrgh!

check out these bear paw socks.

Warrior 4 and Little K being patient.

Warrior 4 getting antsy. He is wanting to get out of this stroller.

What is showing on TV guys?

Finally free from his little umbrella stroller.

Got the IV in. Did it hurt?

All smiles until the end.

We didn't leave the hospital until 3PM. It was another long day.

Liquid foods. No school for 10 days! lots of popsicle and pain meds. You can do this!

new sink!

Yey! New sink is finally installed! CheHOo! Great find on craigslist! Thank goodness King is a very handy man. =)

KING and the Warriors finished stripping and rewaxing the floor at the old house. The house is in such disarray.

I wonder how long it'll take us to finally settle in? Blogging will definitely be put off until there is some organization. I tell you ...the inside of the house looks like a hoarders house. Anyway you look wall to wall and floor to ceiling... there are stuff? ugh!

I better get off and start sorting through our junk. Laters.

What pose is this?

Princess posing while waiting to be picked up from practice. Her friend Tiff took the picture.

Empty house

GOOBABES emptied and cleaned the house all night (Fri) until 6am (sat). napped for an hour. 7am YSA and their leaders came and painted the house while the goobabes washed window screens. showered at friends house. mini BYUH Alumni get together with the Shortland's. Enjoyed the MANGA with sauted ARAMANG...King drove to MIlilani ..spending the night with the NAUMUs..slept from 5pm to 5:30 am. now I'm all caught up with sleep. =) Thankful for my many blessings.

cars!

Warrior 4 is enjoying Little K's toy car. It's a torquise Dinoco 55 from the movie Cars. He likes little boy toys. We had a crate full of little cars but got rid of them before I got pregnant. Since Warrior 3 was into Legos and were not playing with the little hotwheel cars I got rid of them.

We Are Truly Blessed!

Heavenly Father knows each one of us. He sees the big picture. He blesses us daily. He loves us. We are truly blessed. Things don't just happen coincidentally. The Camblin's moving out and we are moving in.

Well, we found a place. We are not moving far. Just 4 houses down the road. =) Mean huh? We are all relieved and happy. The rent is a little more than what we are paying now. Plus we now have to pay for our own electricity. However, we are very grateful and feel very blessed.

What Happened?

After being MIA from blogging I noticed that most of my pictures from my older posts are gone? What happened?

What a Way to End the Summer

Well, the King wakes us up and calls everyone to the living room. He takes a breath and says, "I have bad news." He picks up a piece of paper and looks at it and then hands it to me and suggests that I read it. At the the top of the page it read: NOTICE TO VACATE AT THE END OF SPECIFIED TERM--RESIDENTIAL.

YES, Mr. Blevins is not renewing our lease which expires the end of this month. Wow! I didn't see that coming. Mr. Blevins told the King that since his kids are now in charge of managing all his rentals...his kids were the ones who wanted to renovate. The house sure needs that but we are bummed. The King is overwhelmed with emotion ....composes himself and tells me and the kids that we are going to be alright.

That means we have to pack all our stuff which we've accumulated in 11 years in less than 30 days. Where do I begin? School starts tomorrow, orientation for Princess and WArrior 2 and back to babysitting...The King still has to go to work.

Where are we going to go? If we don't have a place...we will be homeless...the kids will qualify for free lunch and free bus transportation. That's looking at it as the glass half full! LOL. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Be positive yeah!

So, our summer ends.

Writer's Block

I don't know what to write. A lot has happened but I haven't made the time to post anything yet. Warrrior 2 has graduated from elementary school, he's had a birthday, we went hiking, gone to the beach a lot more than usual so they are so dark right now. I finished reading the BOM. I still need to lose weight. I need to work on Personal Progress. Practice some more ZUMBA...because I'm subbing sometime in August. The Gooeygoo Babes are driving each other nuts. They are driving me nuts. Helping Warrior 3 work on getting his Bear Badge...(I think that is what's next) Trying to grow a garden. Trying to get organized...but seems impossible. ugh! Driver for Princess to cheer practice, fundraising and car wash.

this is all for now. Princess is taking forever to change. She's been in the room for 20 minutes. How long does it take to put on practice clothes. Hello?!
